[PC-NCSG] NCPH joint Letter about GNSO review

[Sam Lanfranco]

Amr, et. al.,

Here are my two comments about this:

  * *My view*: Given the widely shared grave reservations about the
    methodological flaws in the GNSO review report, the GNSO
    constituency communities should make sure that the report is not
    used as a basis for actions based on unwarranted inferences drawn
    from the report. However, GNSO constituency members have taken the
    opportunity of the report to comment on issues raised, or not
    properly raised. These can be used as a starting point for a
    stakeholder dialogue around GNSO reform.


  * *An NCSG PC Position:* Here is the sense of what I think we should
    say, along with not signing the statement. None of the various
    constituencies within NCSG are in favor of using the report as a
    basis for action. All have reservations about both the process and
    the content of the report. In a most favorable light the report is
    seen as the basis for stakeholder/constituency dialogue within the
    GNSO community. Various constituencies, and individuals within those
    constituencies, have offered constructive comments on some of the
    issues, and ways forward, but there is not a simple consensus around
    endorsing a single statement, that of the CSG or any other. The
    community awaits the commencement of a dialogue.

That is my humble position.

Sam
